Surprisingly, I've gotten more spam on the #Nostr than on the birb app.

One thing that worries me about the future is someone can gen many pubkeys and use bots to spam the shit out of someone.

Or, use it for harassment. You'd basically need to never turn on notifications or open the app as it'd be like a DDoS lol

The process from start to attack is far easier to employ with Nostr than traditional social media with having to register a throwaway email, check activation email, send a few responses, rotate IPs, before getting banned. Rinse, repeat.

Curious, what our mitigation options will be to thwart say tens of thousands of spam comments from destroying one's experience. Or, straight filling up a relay's disk and bringing it down.

Some form of rate-limiting? #AskNostr

This is already a solved problem, you just need to use a client with web of trust, like Coracle or Nostur. I haven't seen any spam since I started using the updated Coracle.
